GIVING REPORT 2017

Get. Give. Change.

“I think I could work a little, if I could

see again.”

- Replied Man Bir

“अब आँखाले देख्यो भने त क्यारे काम नन अनल

अनल गनन सनकन्छ जस्तो लाग्छ।”

- मन बीर भनु्न हुन्छ

Our team from Anthropose headed out for our

second cataract surgery camp on the 20th of

December. This year, the camp was held at the

District Eye Community Center in Dhading

Besi, Nepal.

After a four-hour long ride from Kathmandu,

we finally reached our destination.

The following day was an important day for

many of us. It was the first day of our Cataract

Surgery Camp.

Early next morning, people queued up at the

registration kiosk, waiting. As the camp

progressed, an elderly gentleman caught our

attention. He was sitting on a bench, holding

on to his makeshift walking cane; all the while

his eyes wondered around.

“Man Bir Gurung”, the doctor's assistant called

out and a man seated next to the elderly man

replied, "Yes, he is my father."

Get. Give. Change.

It was his turn to head in for his vision test.

While his son assisted him to the test center,

we tagged along to help.

Kartik 18, 2074, he recalled and said that it was

the day when he lost both of his eyesight due

to cataract. He further added,

“Life has been only about darkness since

then. I no longer know how my house looks

like now.”

He dreams of working on the fields and

watching his great grandchildren laugh; he told

us.

While our conversation lasted, we had finished

testing his vision, established his cataracts

could be removed and were in the anesthetic

room.

Scared, rubbing his hands together he laid

down on the bed upon the doctor's instruction.

The doctor then consoled Man Bir while

anesthetizing the eye. Observing an eye being

punctured by an injection is a tough sight, let

alone being the one being anesthetized. We

were hoping that the pain would be worthwhile

later on for Man Bir. Once done, he was ready

to head on to the operating room.

Get. Give. Change.

As he waited for his turn, we could see his

body shiver and him mumble to himself. At

that moment, we could sense his fear. We were

equally nervous for Man Bir, for this was a

defining moment of his future.

15 minutes passed and the surgery came to an

end. “We have successfully removed cataract

from his eyes”, the doctor revealed and we

welcomed him out of the operating room with

a big smile. However, the success of the

operation depended on whether he would be

able to see the next morning.

It was the next morning and it was Man Bir’s

day; a new day awaited. In the crowd, there

was Man Bir, repeatedly trying to peek from

underneath the covering. His excitement for

his new- found eye-sight showed. We were

elated.

“What do you see right now?” we inquired.

Blinking his eyes, he said, “I see brightness.

There is no longer darkness in my life.”

It is hard to describe the feeling upon seeing

him respond to us then. What is for sure is that

the brightest of it all was the smile that Man

Bir had when he did.

Get. Give. Change.

That day, we restored sight

of 143 people, each with a

story not so different than

Man Bir’s.

We would like to end this

note by bringing to your

attention that a lot more is

yet to be done. This is just

the beginning.

Thank you all who have

been with us throughout our

journey.

Team Anthropose.
